Global existence for a quasilinear wave equation outside of star-shaped domains

Hart F. Smith (2001)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

This talk describes joint work with Chris Sogge and Markus Keel, in which we establish a global existence theorem for null-type quasilinear wave equations in three space dimensions, where we impose Dirichlet conditions on a smooth, compact star-shaped obstacle 𝒦 ⊂ ℝ 3 . The key tool, following Christodoulou [1], is to use the Penrose compactification of Minkowski space. In the case under consideration, this reduces matters to a local existence theorem for a singular obstacle problem. Full details...

A minicourse on global existence and blowup of classical solutions to multidimensional quasilinear wave equations

Serge Alinhac (2002)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

The aim of this mini-course is twofold: describe quickly the framework of quasilinear wave equation with small data; and give a detailed sketch of the proofs of the blowup theorems in this framework. The first chapter introduces the main tools and concepts, and presents the main results as solutions of natural conjectures. The second chapter gives a self-contained account of geometric blowup and of its applications to present problem.

Uniqueness results for some PDEs

Nader Masmoudi (2003)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

Existence of solutions to many kinds of PDEs can be proved by using a fixed point argument or an iterative argument in some Banach space. This usually yields uniqueness in the same Banach space where the fixed point is performed. We give here two methods to prove uniqueness in a more natural class. The first one is based on proving some estimates in a less regular space. The second one is based on a duality argument. In this paper, we present some results obtained in collaboration with...
